Opel today lifts the veil on the restyling of mid-carrier of its historic city car. For this new vintage, the Corsa takes the Vizor grille, this characteristic front side of the brand, which all the new Opel adopt. The black banner covers the front and incorporates into a single element the grille of the vehicle, the LED headlights and the center, as well as the Opel logo at the lightning.

Depending on the level of finish, said logo at the front and rear is presented in black or matt silver matt. The fictitious air inputs in the lower part of the front shield are larger and marked than before, allowing the Corsa to establish its silhouette on the road.

Intelli-Lux matrix lighting goes to 14 LED segments instead of eight, while a new panoramic rear back camera incorporates the assistance panel to add to adaptive cruise control or the front collision alert With automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection.

In the passenger compartment, the design evolves a little with an unprecedented design of the gear lever and the steering wheel, as well as new patterns for seats. The all-digital dashboard (optional) enjoys a slightly reworked infodivement under Snapdragon Cockpit, with a graphics and a bone a priori remained. In addition, Apple Carplay and Android Auto can be connected wirelessly.

Two new features under the hood. The Opel Corsa will be the manufacturer’s first car to receive a 48 V hybrid engine. The all-electrical version Corsa Electric (which should therefore no longer be called Corsa-e), it benefits from the new Stellantis motorcycle group with a 156 hp engine (Emotors, born of Nidec and PSA) powered by a 54 battery kWh for a range of 402 km, against 357 km for the previous version.

In France, the Opel Corsa has a career in the shadow of its technical cousin, the Peugeot E-208. However, it is the German that Stellantis chose to restyle first, before the E-208 which should have the right to its restyling that same year, after the very recently restyled E-2008.

The Opel Corsa Electric should also provide some answers on the restyling of the French city car, but while waiting, It is the Corsa that is talked about with some welcome modifications and a much more mature style.

More mature and above all more technological

While retaining its dimensions, namely 4.06 meters long, 1.76 meters wide and 1.43 meters high, the Opel Corsa Electric adopts a new look with the front “Opel Vizor” side. We thus find a large black banner that fits into the grille, LED headlights and the brand logo.

This type of front front has become more democratic on the entire Opel range, and in particular on the new Opel Astra Electric. The car receives new adaptive fires and new Intelli-Lux LED road fires with 14 LED elements instead of 8 previously.

The air intakes in the lower part of the shield are larger, while at the rear, we find lettering with the name of the model which extends over the width of the trunk. The Opel Corsa receives a new “gray grafik” shade, available for the first time on the Corsa and new rims.

Inside, the changes are also noticeable with the correction of an important element which had also embarrassed us during the test of the previous version: the infotainment system. Opel finished with the two small 7 -inch screens, place with two 10 -inch screens for the instrumentation handset and the infotainment system based on The Qualcomm Snapdragon Cockpit Snapdragon Cockpit in the powerful smartphones.

The navigation system, connected services and “Hey Opel” voice recognition are there, as well as the possibility of receiving updates “Over-the-air“(Ota). Apple Carplay and Android Auto Wireless are also available.

In terms of driving aids and assistance, the Opel Corsa is one of the good students in the category and even adds a layer with a new high-resolution panoramic rear back camera. In terms of driving assistance, we find the adaptive cruise control, the collision alert with emergency braking and the flank guard side protection system.

The Opel Corsa Electric exceeds 400 km of autonomy

On the motorization program, there is new. In addition to the two micro-hybrid thermal versions of 100 and 136 hp, The Opel Corsa not receives one, but two 100 % electric variants.

Unlike the new Peugeot E-2008 with whom the Corsa shares many elements, the Opel keeps the old version of 136 CH support of a battery of 50 kWh (46.2 kWh useful) giving it an autonomy of 357 km According to the WLTP cycle. It will be the entry -level version of the Corsa Electric to display a price “from” interesting.

The Opel Corsa Electric also receives the new battery and the new Stellantis electric motor. The battery capacity goes from 50 to 54 kWh raw, an evolution of 46.2 to 51 kWh net. This allows a hell of a good thing in terms of autonomy since it goes to 402 km of autonomy. The electric motor rises from 136 to 156 CH.

The German electric city car has a 7.4 kW on -board AC charger allowing battery recharging from 20 to 80 % in 4:40. Customers can also opt for an optional three -phase charger of 11 kW. The maximum load power on a direct current terminal (DC) is always blocked at 100 kW, allowing to go from 20 to 80 % in 30 minutes.

Opel has not yet given information about French prices. We imagine the basic version with the 136 hp engine around 34,000 euros, excluding bonus. The 156 hp version could flirt with the 38,000 euros, excluding bonus.
